Jacobs to advise UK's MESH 300-MW/55-GWh offshore storage project

The MESH project is designed around offshore compressed-air energy storage, giving it a duration profile far beyond conventional lithium-ion batteries. Jacobs’ advisory role points to the engineering complexity of siting, permitting, connecting, and commercializing large offshore storage infrastructure. For renewable integration, a 55 GWh asset would be relevant because it could shift large volumes of power across longer weather and demand cycles.
